Just three weeks on the job as Washington, D.C., attorney general, Linda Singer has ordered a shake-up in some key administrative positions and has proposed taking over local felony cases now handled by federal prosecutors. Singer says she wants the office to do more to protect consumers and vulnerable populations such as immigrants and the elderly. She spent the past 13 years leading the Appleseed Foundation, building it into a pro bono legal network with 18 centers in the United States and Mexico.

It’s hard to say what the bigger surprise is: that Linda Singer was picked as Washington, D.C., attorney general or what she’s done since her appointment.
Chosen by Adrian Fenty three days after he was elected mayor, Singer isn’t well known by many judges or regulars at the District and federal courthouses. The public interest lawyer doesn’t hail from the prosecutorial or judicial circles of her predecessors, and she doesn’t even have a D.C. law license.
